US designation of TRF diplomatic victory for India: Chugh

Srinagar, Jul 19: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) National General Secretary, Tarun Chugh on Saturday welcomed the decision of the United States to officially designate The Resistance Front as a terrorist organisation, calling it a “diplomatic victory for India” and a firm endorsement of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s assertive foreign policy doctrine.Chugh, in a statement issued here, said, “The TRF’s involvement in terror activities, particularly its role in the recent Pahalgam massacre, was not just an attack on innocent civilians but a direct challenge to India’s sovereignty and peace. This move by the US exposes the Pakistan-backed terror ecosystem and vindicates India’s long-standing stand that groups like TRF are merely front organisations for Lashkar-e-Taiba and other Pakistan-sponsored terror outfits.”The BJP leader said this is the result of PM Modi’s clear and uncompromising stance on terrorism, and his ability to rally global powers to act decisively. Whether it is isolating terror sponsors at global forums or pushing for international accountability, Modi’s foreign policy has delivered where others only made statements,” he remarked.Chugh pointed out that while the opposition parties continue to politicise India’s national security issues, global powers like the US are standing with India in its fight against terrorism. “Today’s designation by the US isn’t just a statement—it’s a strategic alignment with India’s security concerns,” he said.The BJP leader called on the global community to go a step further and expose and sanction Pakistan’s deep-state operatives who continue to provide cover and funding to groups like LeT and TRF. He said this moment must serve as a warning to terror sponsors that India under PM Modi is not isolated but globally backed.“This is a message to the enemies of peace: India will not bow down, and the world is standing with us,” Chugh said.
